This will be the second opportunity in which McCullough is part of the stars game festivities, after it served as a pitcher for the star Mookie Betts at the 2023 home run festival.
“It is very fun to be among the best baseball players for a few days in a very relaxed atmosphere,” said the helmsman in statements for the official portal of the Marlins. “Everyone competes so hard with each other, but then there is also a part of sportsmanship. You certainly appreciate the level of talent, the ability you come to see night after night in a field of the elders and that the best meet for the ‘half -season classic’. In addition to being able to meet some players with whom you do not share frequently,” he added.

“Maybe I have to send a message to Dave and ask: What are you looking for and what do you need?” McCullough said.
